Samurai

Description

Samurai is a strategic board game set in medieval Japan where 2 to 4 players compete to gain the favor of three factions: samurai, peasants, and priests. The game features a hexagonal grid representing the islands of Japan, with figures such as helmets, rice paddies, and Buddhas scattered throughout. Players use hexagonal tiles to curry favor with these factions, making strategic moves to surround and capture these figures. The game is easy to learn and plays out over 30 to 60 minutes, with players comparing captured symbols at the end to determine the winner. Designed by Reiner Knizia, Samurai is a classic abstract strategy game that requires hand management, tile placement, and area majority control. With its simple rules and deep gameplay, Samurai is a fun and engaging experience for players of all skill levels, making it a great addition to any board game collection.
